In reply to Did Vraylar make anyone feel worse?, posted by bissie66 on October 17, 2018, at 15:41:46
> I am on day 2 of taking Vraylar, prescribed for bipolar depression (another of those last-ditch attempts at relief).
>
> I was already in a pretty bad depression but today I was just knocked down. I normally have a hard time getting ready for work but I always go because it's actually kind of a relief for me - somewhere I can feel normal for a bit. But today I just couldn't even get dressed. I was sobbing my eyes out off and on all day. Yesterday was pretty much the same and I left work early. My anxiety is at a very high level too. I feel scared and unsettled all the time.

> I'm wondering if it's the Vraylar or just the depression getting worse.

> Should I stick with it? Did anyone feel bad at first but then it kicked in and it worked? How long did it take to start working?

> Thanks. Anyone's reply would be really lovely. I'm lost.It is difficult to generalize reactions to everyone taking the same drug. As for myself, I had Vraylar make my depression significantly worse within a few days. I opted to discontinue it at that point. Vraylar has a very long half-life, and I was unwilling to take the chance of triggering a bad reaction that would last for weeks or months.
